Why It’s Always The Man’s Fault

Angelika Ciullo, Michael Ciullo
About this episode

In a society where men are often portrayed as weak or incapable, the idea that "it's always the man's fault" may seem harsh and unfair. However, beneath the surface lies a crucial message about responsibility and leadership. It's not about assigning blame but rather about acknowledging the power and influence that men have in their relationships and family.

There's an undeniable admiration for a man who doesn't shy away from responsibility—a man who stands tall in embracing his role as a leader. To a woman, there's nothing sexier than a man who steps into his leadership role with integrity and strength. This creates a sense of security and trust in a relationship. 

In this episode, Ang and Mike discuss why it’s always the man's fault, how men can take the leadership role in their relationships, lead by example, and much more. The episode is not about accusing men but encouraging them to rise and lead with courage and embody the essence of true faith and masculinity.
